I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading The Wide-Awake Princess by E.D. Baker. I'm a fan of most fantasy and love any good fairy tale, but something about the cover to this novel looked a too little disney cartoon like for my taste. Boy am I glad I didn't judge this book just on the cover! What looks like just another retelling of Sleeping Beauty take a different turn when Sleeping Beauty's younger sister doesn't fall alseep with the rest of the castle. I was pleasently surprised by the story and how other classic fairy tales got mixed in with the plot. The love story is also perfect for younger girls who are more interested in puppy love then a Twilight level romance.
